He he. While the Dean is out he gave me the keys to his blog, and boy will he be sorry. I have a proclivity for shooting my mouth off, being ignorant, and making blanket statements that piss people off. Actually I guess it will be like the Dean is still here.

Anyway, I'll try to stay on the topic of politics and not wander all over the place, but I promise nothing! Set expectations to minimum amplitude.

This post is about my favorite political cartoonist, Tom Tomorrow. His comic has moved around alot and tracking it down again has been difficult. Click on the link to read his hilarious observations and laugh and possibly cry. This week was a special treat, because one of my favorite geek heroes Doctor Who (David Tennant Style) showed up in the comic.

Not because you conceded. But because you insisted we're all in this together.

At times watching that speech I was moved to the point of tears, but I do have small confession- there were a couple of occasions when my mind wandered and I focused on the enthusiastic crowd of your supporters and thought of John McCain of all people.

I don't think he and his Republican party, George Bush's Republican party, have a clue what's coming at them.

There is a tsunami of change sweeping over this country.

It will be a hell of a lot of work and a tough fight to win the presidency. It's for means certain. I'm realistic about that.

But I still hold out hope that together as Democrats Americans we can end this horrible period in our country's history.

Do you remember the sorry everybody photo pages where we left our apoligies to the world at the results of the 2004 elections?

We -Hillary Clinton and all of her loyal supporters and everybody else who wants to undo the Bush presidency - have a chance to make it up to the world.
